What a Joni undertaking! I wish I could play the piano and even though I have tried her songbooks are not written correctly. I tried For Free and Rainy Night House. Both are marginally good. Someday, David, maybe you can get the originals and transcribe away!

After a few weeks of searching cupboards and bookcases he discovered a full set of photocopies of it. They are low res (remember photostat machines in 1977?) and hard to read but zoomed in on a big screen the notes are legible. So, I am engaged in the slow but worthwhile job of retranscribing the whole piece, piano, vocal and orchestra, with Mikes score to work from. I am inputting it into Sibelius notation software, and it may be 30-40 pages long when its finished, but will eventually be a valuable addition to the websites spectacular transcription library, in which this piece is still conspicuously absent. Someday, someone will get the idea to perform PP live with an orchestra and this undertaking will make that possible. In! > fact, Mike told me that it was being considered for Travelogue and he sent his score to Vince Mendoza who would have had to comb through it as I am doing now. For whatever reason it was not included; maybe the definitive version had already been done. Ill blare the announcement from the rooftops when its ready for viewing. > > cheers > Dave > > > > On Dec 3, 2013, at 4:20 AM, Marianne Rizzo wrote: > >> Let's turn our attention to paprika plains. >> WOW >> >> Utterly amazing. >> wonderful, amazing, extroadinarily beautiful . . . words, for me do not seem >> to do justice. >> >> I would like to hear about your reactions to this. >> It is a complete masterpiece. >> Have a great day, all joni wonderful people. >> xoxo >> Love Marianne ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #1731 ****************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
